Answer:

The independent variable is the food and the weight is the dependent variable. The control group is the first group of fish in the sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable doesn't depend on other factors. So food doesn't depend on anything. The dependent variable depends on other factors. The fishes weight depends on the food.
