Reply to the comments of Ryman et al.

If we want to address ‘genetic concerns’ we should not forget the issue of ‘mental concerns’ in the process. Nyman & Ring (1989) set out to display how a couple of polymorphic loci in Arctic charr ( Salvelinus alpinus L.) may and will be used as standard genetic tags for studies on hatchery and...

Description
Summary:If we want to address ‘genetic concerns’ we should not forget the issue of ‘mental concerns’ in the process. Nyman & Ring (1989) set out to display how a couple of polymorphic loci in Arctic charr ( Salvelinus alpinus L.) may and will be used as standard genetic tags for studies on hatchery and wild populations. However, Ryman et al . (1993) address ‘conceptual misunderstandings’ of a general nature. Instead of discussing all the detailed points raised by Ryman et al ., I have tried below to address the major issues in Nyman and Ring's original paper.
