A spring scale measures weight.
It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale.
A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant.
However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.

If the fish does not struggle (it would have to be dead not to) and above water, then you can measure a spring scale.
