Yes, sharks are heterotrophs because they eat other organisms to survive. All animals are heterotrophs (along with fungi and many bacteria). Heterotrophic simply means that these organisms do not produce their own food, but need to consume organic carbons, which come from "autotrophs" - plants, algae, and those bacteria who can create their own food from inorganic elements and the energy from light or from inorganic chemical reactions.
