Measured using a YSI Datasond, a device that is lowered into the water
   takes reading of DO, pH, temperature, Chlorophyll A
   lowered through the water column
Summer work gave Indications of anoxia in deep waters—Nikki will talk about this more
   lack of oxygen affects deep water fisheries as there is no O2 in colder, deep waters
   can be an indication of algal blooms or high levels of production as decomposition
   requires oxygen
This is may be a point of concern as there has been a decline in oxygen levels in the deep water of Long Pond.
   -this trend is more evident in waters containing less than 5 ppm, but is noticeable in water depths at levels containing less than 1 ppm
