With 60" (5ft) of Secchi water clarity, I think 1% light penetration through 18" of clear ice on a sunny day would be in most all bottom areas of 7-8ft and less, maybe 9ft. Water convection currents could move water with higher DO to some deeper areas depending??? How deep was the bottom DO measured?
