significant differences between these two populations. Research shows that the
differences in climate and vegetational elements did not cause a change in
the trophy structure of the populations. Hereditary traits of the populations
are identical because they both originate from the Brioni Islands. Minor
diferences occurring in the trophy structure are a reflection of management
interventions and aims. Both population display an exceptionally good trend
of horn development, so that after only three years nearly all the mouflons
qualify for one of the medals. The above mentioned hunting districts, together
with some others, are a guarantee for success in wildlife management of
mouflons at suitable habitats on the Adriatic islands, along the coast and in
wider coastal regions in the Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean belts of
Croatia.
