Southeast Maluku is the leading supplier of Indonesian trepang, but lately, the production has been decreased significantly. The effort to increase the trepang population through sexual reproductive techniques still requires a long time. Therefore, another method which faster, more productive, and more accessible are needed to be applied by coastal communities, namely inducing asexual reproduction of fission using a rubber band. This research using experimental methods in the field and analyzed descriptively. Fission induction conducted by rubber binding at 1/3 of the anterior body part of trepang. This study induces asexual reproduction in two trepang species found on Matakus Island, Tanimbar Archipelago, Maluku, Holothuria scabra, and Bohadschia marmorata. The results showed that H. scabra (98%) and B. marmorata (100%) rubber binding could induce individual fission of the trepang and divide into two new individuals. The posterior part has a higher regeneration and a better survival rate than the anterior part. The survival rate of B. Marmorata is higher than that of H. scabra.

东南马鲁古是印尼海参的主要供应商，但最近产量大幅下降。通过有性生殖技术增加海参数量的努力仍然需要很长时间。因此，沿海社区需要采用另一种更快、更高产、更容易获得的方法，即使用橡皮筋诱导无性繁殖的裂变。本研究采用现场实验方法并进行描述性分析。在海参前体部分的 1/3 处通过橡胶结合进行的裂变诱导。这项研究在 Matakus 岛、Tanimbar 群岛、Maluku、Holoturia scabra和Bohadschia marmorata发现的两种海参物种诱导了无性繁殖。结果表明，H. scabra (98%) 和B. marmorata (100%) 橡胶结合可以诱导海参个体裂变并分裂成两个新个体。后部比前部具有更高的再生和更好的存活率。B. Marmorata的成活率高于H. scabra。
