It is a reference to early Christianity - they used this symbol to reference the miracle of the loaves and the fishes to identify believers and escape persecution. It is meant to look like a fish.

this sign means directly proportional to. Directly proportional is similar to directly related but they are not the same. On a graph, if one value is directly proportional to another, the graph will be a straight line through the origin. A direct proportion does not have to be through the origin on a graph.

In Mathematics that symbol is read as "Proportional to" or "Directly related to"
