===Scientific fraud claims===
In May 2021, the American publication [[Science Magazine]] made claims about scientific fraud involving 22 papers linked to James Cook University's Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. The Australian Research Council, the US National Science Foundation, and JCU had been asked to investigate the allegations. The article supported by the international Science Fund for Investigative Reporting, is the culmination of years of research and contested claims over how fish behaviour is changed by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the oceans. Researchers claimed to have evidence of manipulation in publicly available raw data files for two papers, one published in Science Magazine, the other in ''[[Nature Climate Change]]'', combined with large and "statistically impossible" effects from {{CO2}} reported in many of the other papers.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Uni in hot water over claims of fish fraud|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=TAWEB_WRE170_a&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaustralian.com.au%2Fhigher-education%2Fjames-cook-university-in-hot-water-over-claims-of-fish-fraud%2Fnews-story%2Fd7ffe362e70ad2f318fdcb06b0704a19&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&nk=7a1cf6dafd26469617fc314212f328c1-1620427864|access-date=2021-05-07|website=www.theaustralian.com.au|archive-date=7 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507225701/https://www.theaustralian.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=TAWEB_WRE170_a&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaustralian.com.au%2Fhigher-education%2Fjames-cook-university-in-hot-water-over-claims-of-fish-fraud%2Fnews-story%2Fd7ffe362e70ad2f318fdcb06b0704a19&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&nk=7a1cf6dafd26469617fc314212f328c1-1620427864|url-status=live}}{{subscription required}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Enserin|first=Martin|date=2021-05-06|title=Does ocean acidification alter fish behavior?
