I visited the salmon fishery on the Salmon River in Idaho and took the tour. The guide explained that his job was to find the most attractive female salmon and put her behind a screen in the pool. They then put 1000 male salmon on the other side of the screen who react as most men would after a $1000.00 Vegas lap dance. After the male salmon were done the water was filtered and sent to the bottling plant to make protamine. During the Q and A after the tour someone asked the guide how he knew which was the “hottest” female salmon. He explained that it was a previously undiscovered trait he possessed not unlike having perfect pitch. And for that he was paid $100.00 plus benefits.
