Fish
Fish represent knowledge. Fish laid upon the fire, as in John 21:9, represent the reformation of the natural man by the good of love, of which description were all the men of that time, in consequence of the complete vastation of the church. Fish signify sensual affections which are the ultimate affections of the natural man. Fish sometimes also represent people in common truth or conversely in external falsity. Broiled fish, as in Luke 24:42, signify the truth of good relating to the natural and sensual man, and honeycomb, the good of the same truth. To make as the fishes of the sea, signifies to make altogether sensual. Fish, as in Habakkuk 1:14-16, signify people in faith separate from charity.

Habakkuk 1:14-16
14
and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15
He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
16
Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good.
