I don't know if this is the problem or not, but you can't call the model that way. if you don't name arguments then you must list them in the order the function expects. You don;t say which `gam()` you use but assuming it is `mgcv:::gam()` then the second argument is `data` and you passed it a function `poisson`. Does it work if you do: model1<-gam(Clupeidae~s(depth)+s(temperature)+s(salinity), family = poisson) ? Really though you should be passing it both a data and a family argument. Assuming your data are in object named `mydata` then: model1<-gam(Clupeidae~s(depth)+s(temperature)+s(salinity), data = mydata, family = poisson) would be the correct way to work with the function.
