. It is the intent of the Legislature that the department use
the moneys from the sale of commercial fishing salmon stamps
allocated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 7861 and the
matching share contributed by the department to raise approximately
two million chinook salmon annually to yearling size to contribute to
the replenishing of California's salmon resource. In no case shall
moneys from the General Fund be used to match the salmon stamp
revenues expended for this program. It is the further intent of the
Legislature that the salmon stamp fee authorized in subdivision (b)
of Section 7861 shall generate revenues equal to one-half the amount
necessary to raise this number of salmon to yearling size.
