Best Answer

No. Decomposers in an ecosystem are generally organisms like bacteria and fungi: they feed on or absorb dead tissue and waste products, and they also break it down so that other creatures can benefit from it. Most science textbooks consider mackerel "consumers"-- they are scavengers that eat other sea animals (like jellyfish and shrimp).
