In biological circles, the producers (autotrophs) are plants and green algae, which capture energy from sunlight to produce their own food, or in other words capture carbon into the food chain. By contrast, crabs, crayfish, and lobster eat other organisms (both plants and animals) and are thus variously classified as omnivorous, often predatory/carnivorous, or heterotrophic; as such they are considered consumers.

What is any of various edible decapod crustaceans?

Crayfish (crawdads), crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are among the more familiar edible decapods. Other decapods that are frequently eaten although not well-recognized are squat lobsters, spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters, and king crabs; these are often sold as "lobster" or "crab" although they are not lobsters or crabs.
