Not being a fisherman I would like to ask a question. What are tax
dollars being spent on tracking the mating habits of two salmon and
the salaries of at least two fisheries biologists for?

Um, good stewardship of natural resources for future generations to
enjoy? I suspect much of the tax dollars come from license fees, etc.
