Bartenura
דגים מאימתי מקבלים טומאה – and whenever they are living they are not susceptible to receive defilement.
משיצודו (from when they are caught) – they are considered as dead.
אם יכולים לחיות – that if he would return them to the water they would live, they don’t defile. But if they are not able to live when they return them to the water, even though they still had not died, they are susceptible to receive ritual defilement. And the Halakha is according to the School of Hillel.
יחור של תאנה שנפשח (a young shoot of a fig tree that was stripped/split) – a branch of the a fig tree and there are figs on it, that had been detached and separated from the place of their connection, but that there remained from its skin and it is attached with the husk/skin/bark of the tree alone.
ר' יהודה מטהר – those figs that are on the branch, if the defilement came in contact with them, they are considered as attached, since the branch is attached slightly, and even though it is not attached other than with a skin/husk.
וחכמים אומרים אם יכול לחיות – if they will tie and attach the branch with the tree, the branch will live and produce fruit, and it is considered as attached and pure. But if it will not live when they retie it with the tree, the figs that are on the branch are considered like they are detached and are susceptible to receive defilement. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
דגים מאימתי מקבלים טומאה. דכל זמן שהן חיים אינן מקבלים טומאה:
משיצודו. חשובים כמתים:
אם יכולים לחיות. שאם יחזירום למים יחיו, אינן מטמאין. אבל אם אין יכולים לחיות כשמחזירן למים, אע״פ שעדיין לא מתו, מקבלים טומאה. והלכה כבית הלל:
יחור של תאנה שנפשח. ענף של אילן תאנה ובו תאנים, שנתלש ונפרד ממקום חיבורו, אלא שנשאר מעורה ומדובק בקליפת האילן בלבד:
ר׳ יהודה מטהר. אותם תאנים שבענף, אם נגעה בהם טומאה. דחשיב להו כמחובר, הואיל והענף מעורה קצת, ואע״פ שאינו מעורה אלא בקליפה:
וחכמים אומרים אם יכול לחיות. אם יקשרו ויחברו הענף עם האילן יחיה הענף ויוציא פירות, חשוב כמחובר וטהורים. ואם לא יחיה כשיקשרוהו עם האילן, הרי תאנים שבענף כתלושים הן חשובים ומקבלים טומאה. והלכה כחכמים:
