John Ratzenberger was the voice of a school of Moonfish in the movie Finding NEMO.

On top of that movie credit to his name, he is the founder of a program with very similar ideals of FIRST.

And the plot thickens...

Then maybe there's a connection with the shapes the fish make in the movie. The pirate ship, the octopus, the lobster....Or even just the fact that the fish are changing shape at all. Working together to change shape. (alliances)
These things could have something to do with the game.
The scenario would be this; Member of GDC watching nemo, saw the fish, got idea, did a quick search, found out they were moonfish, didn't want to use the same fish because that would be too obvious, google search, first picture, game hint.
