Gadids are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish and crustaceans. [1] Gadids are highly prolific, producing several million eggs at each spawning. This contributes to their high population numbers, which, in turn, makes commercial fishing relatively easy. [3] Concepts differ about the contents of the family Gadidae.
Anisotremus virginicus inhabits reefs and areas of rock substrate in shallow inshore waters at depths of 2–20 m (6.6–65.6 ft). [4] The juveniles are found in beds of sea grass. [5]

Fishing was and is still a large part of Sweden's culture, and fish is a considerable part of the Swedish diet. During the time of the creation of Swedish Fish, Sweden was mostly associated with fish so Malaco chose the shape.
