Answer is primary consumer. (depending on the type of web you are constructing) krill is a primary consumer or secondary because the primarys include phytoplanktons, zooplankton algae etc and since kill eat phyto and zoo plankton it would be a primary consumer or in a food web it would be in the second bottom row making it secondary in the food piramid or web. eg. bottom row: phytoplankton and zooplankton second bottom row: krill, prawns, and fish then the next up are the tertiary and quaternary row, which are the higher levels in the food web.

An animal can be a primary consumer in a food web (a rabbit eating grass).An animal can be a secondary consumer (a snake eating a rabbit).An animal can be a tertiary consumer (an owl eating a snake).An animal can be a quaternary consumer in a food web (a hawk eating an owl).There can be more levels, but the food web always ends with the top predator, the animal with no natural enemies.
