Dates (for birth, emigration, etc.) are usually essential for genealogical ::research. Fisk is a common name in Sweden.
Specific locations (at least in the U.S.) are also essential. Names are seldom enough when making a request.
Do you have any idea who else emigrated from that family? Do you have any idea if he was married or single when he emigrated? Do you know names of his wife and child or children, assuming they were in Sweden and emigrated?
Helpers are severely handicapped in trying to help without those kinds of details.
At any rate, here is a possibility for Axel J. Fisk. I found this on the Emibas CD. Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete.

Emibas CD again:
Johanna (Axel's wife) emigrated with her father and mother and some siblings. I don't see her child.
It is strange that the record says the father was going to Canada but the others were going to Minnesota. There may have been a misunderstanding or error.

Niss is a farm name, added in Dalarna province (where these people came from) to help distinguish people from others with the same name.

Well, that group was headed towards Winnipeg so I don't know where Johanna's husband ended up.
I don't want to spend too much time on a wild-goose chase so this is my last effort. The Axel Johansson Fisk I found is found on the 1890 Swedish Census CD.

Bergsman = farmer who was a joint owner of a mine and/or a blast furnace
I have no idea if this could be your family based only on a name.
