The crab-eating macaque has several common names. It is often referred to as the long-tailed macaque due to its tail, which is often longer than its body. The name crab-eating macaque refers to its being often seen foraging beaches for crabs. Another common name for "M. fascicularis" is the cynomolgus monkey, from the name of a race of humans with long hair and handsome beards who used dogs for hunting according to Aristophanes of
Crab-eating macaque and "M. f. condorensis" is vulnerable. All other subspecies are listed as data deficient and need further study; although recent work is showing "M. f. aurea" and "M. f. karimondjawae" need increased protection. One concern for conservation is, in areas where "M. fascicularis" is not native, their populations need to be monitored and managed to reduce their impact on native flora and fauna. The genome of the crab-eating macaque has been sequenced. On 24 January 2018, scientists in China reported in the journal "Cell" the creation of two crab-eating macaque clones, named "Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua", using the complex
