p value in the emmeans contrast

I am sorry if this question doesn't make too much sense, but I am trying to make a post hoc analysis with my gam selected models. It's normal that my contrast doesn't have any significant p-value? I was expecting to find which level of my factor was selected in the interaction. OBS: I have a data set of 169 samples and I am trying to understand which environmental feature (depth, chlorophyll, bottom type, and SST)is more relevant for the CPUE (catch per unit effort). My only categorical variable is the Bottom Type with 13 levels.

dredge(res)
Global model call: gam(formula = nCPUE ~ s(Depth) + s(Chlorophyll) + BottomType + 
    s(SST), data = morio)
