Here is a link to an informative newspaper article that discusses how snow cover on ice and certain related conditions can contribute to winter fish kills. The article mentions that a fish hatchery uses winter aeration in shallow water to help reduce the chance of fish kills. I am currently using and testing deep water diffuser aeration as opposed to shallow water aeration and how it will affect the water conditions under ice and snow cover.
