Subject: Dissolved Oxygen Levels

I dont really get this Dissolved Oxygen(DO) thing. It says that fish prefer water with the (DO) of 5ppm or greater. The chart for my local lake is surface has 9.09 (DO) water temp 79.9, at five feet 9.02(DO)water temp 80.1, 10 feet 8.99(DO) water temp 80.1, 15 feet 10.80 (DO) water temp 76.8, and at 20 feet 5.68 (DO) water temp 65.8, and at 25 feet 2.34 (DO) water temp 61.7. Does this mean i need to focus fishing the surface to 20 feet down? Is every (DO) number above five good fishing? This is confusing! Thanks for the information!!!
