pixels, mega-bites, or inches on a larger scale
The Richter scale does not know anything. The Richter scale is a measurement of the magnitude of an earthquake. The numbers of the scale represent a quantifiable measurement or range of the strength.
it means that it is drawn to match a specific measurement ex. 1 inch on a scale on a map is 1 mile
A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.
Scale
A scale does a fine job of making that measurement.
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
Spring scales measure the the weight of an object or a pulling force. The scientific unit used is the Newton, the unit of force. In day to day use, the units used are often pounds, kilos, ounces, grams. It should be noted that a spring scale does not measure mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of a substance or object where as the weight is the downward force applied to an object due to gravity. The spring scale only ever measures force, never mass.

measurement
Earth's gravity exerts a certain amount of attraction (force) on all objects. When you place a scale between that object and the center of Earth's gravity the amount of that force is detected.
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.
A spring scale measures forces, such as weight or tension.

If the fish does not struggle (it would have to be dead not to) and above water, then you can measure a spring scale.
Not really...A spring scale is largely inacurate. For Chemical or Scientific purposes, a spring scale is not the answer.
I just read that you can weigh anything on it.
