Effect of elevated carbon dioxide on shoal familiarity and metabolism in a coral reef fish

Correction Notice:

On April 25, 2021, the authors were alerted to a copying error in the online data file for the 2016 Conservation Physiology paper (titled "Effect of elevated carbon dioxide on shoal familiarity and metabolism in a coral reef fish”). The error in the dataset uploaded to the publicly available data repository related to experiment 1 (effect of elevated CO2 on social recognition). The data where the copying error occurred (proportion of time with unfamiliar fish) were not included in the statistical analysis and thus do not alter the results or conclusions of the paper.

In correcting this issue in the online dataset, the lead author (Dr. Lauren Nadler) identified a minor mistake in an equation in the raw data file related to one datapoint that was included in the analysis (proportion of time with familiar fish). This issue affects one data point only (that changes from 0.207 to 0.214). Dr. Nadler re-ran the model with the corrected data and found that it changes the p-value of that model from 0.991 to 0.986 (the model in which preference for the familiar versus unfamiliar group is compared under elevated CO2 treatment = 1000 uatm; these results are provided at the end of page 6 in the manuscript).

In consultation with journal’s managing editor, Professor Steven Cooke, on April 27, 2021, we agreed that updating the online and publicly available dataset was the correct course of action, as the correction did not impact on the interpretation of the results or conclusions of the paper.

The corrected dataset is available from https://doi.org/10.25903/nb3m-0634

This study examined the influence of elevated carbon dioxide on shoal familiarity and the metabolic benefits of group living in gregarious damselfish species of the blue-green puller (Chromis viridis). Shoals were acclimated to one of three CO2 treaments (ambient control, mid and high levels based on the range of of levels projected for 2100) and 2 experiments conducted to determine the effect of elevated CO2 on familiarity and the calming effect respectively. The dataset includes physiological, behavioural and water chemistry data.
