Trepanging

A Makassarese wooden sailboat or prau of the type trepangers have used for centuries

Trepanging is the act of collecting or harvesting sea cucumbers (Indonesian: trepang, Malay: těripang) that are used as food.

The collector, or fisher, of trepang is a trepanger.

Trepanging is comparable to clamming, crabbing, lobstering, musseling, shrimping and other forms of "fishing" whose goal is the acquisition of edible invertebrates rather than fish.
