אֵין צָדִין דָּגִים מִן הַבֵּיבָרִין בְּיוֹם טוֹב, וְאֵין נוֹתְנִין לִפְנֵיהֶם מְזוֹנוֹת. אֲבָל צָדִין חַיָּה וָעוֹף מִן הַבֵּיבָרִין, וְנוֹתְנִין לִפְנֵיהֶם מְזוֹנוֹת. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, לֹא כָל הַבֵּיבָרִין שָׁוִין. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כָּל הַמְחֻסָּר צִידָה אָסוּר, וְשֶׁאֵינוֹ מְחֻסָּר צִידָה מֻתָּר:

Fishes may not be "hunted" from fisheries on yom tov. [Even though slaughtering, baking, and cooking are among the avoth melachoth (proto-labors) and are permitted for yom tov needs, hunting is similar to harvesting, and harvesting was not permitted on yom tov.] And food is not placed before them [the fishes; for they can survive without it and there is no obligation to feed them.] But animals and birds [which were prepared the day before] may be hunted from [small] vivariums [where they are readily hunted.] R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: Not all vivaria are alike. [R. Shimon b. Gamliel does not come to differ with the first tanna but to explain his meaning.] This is the rule: Whatever is not readily hunted [i.e., where trapping stratagems must be devised] is forbidden; and whatever is readily hunted [i.e., what can be caught with one bound] is permitted.

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

Vivariums for game or poultry - one is not allowed to take care of them on a holiday and give them food; but one may catch game or fowl and imprison and give them food. R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: Not all vivariums are created equal. This is the rule: Anything requiring additional capture is forbidden; anything that does not require additional capture is permitted. One may slaughter animals from cages, but not from nets and not from fishnets. R. Shimon b. Elazar says: Set his net if he comes up on the eve of the holiday and comes on the holiday and finds it damaged, behold, it is permissible for him; it is clear that the animal was caught the day before the holiday. If he comes and finds it as it was, it is forbidden to him; it is obvious that the animal was caught on the holiday.
