I was Analyzing latency (seconds) in behavioral preference tests using fish, for statistical analysis I used a GzLMM with Poisson regression (log link function) but a reviewer argued that poisson distribution is used in count data and latency could be not handle as count data. what do you think, can I use poisson distribution for latency? what other distribution is correct for this kind of data?.
Mehmet Sinan Iyisoy
Yes, the reviewer is correct. Just use an identity link with a normal distribution.

normal and ex-gaussian distributions are commonly used for this.
