Anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer in the ocean. Because much of the oceans ecosystem is reliant on phytoplankton, and zoo-plankton are some of the only creature that consume phytoplankton, making them a primary consumer, anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer. Some exmaples of secondary consumers are muscles, scallops, barnacles, and moving up the scale even the blue whale eats zoo-plankton, therefore making it a secondary consumer.

Tertiary Consumers: The diets of tertiary consumers may include animals from both the primary and secondary trophic levels. Like secondary consumers, their diet may also include some plants. Examples of tertiary consumers include Hawks, Alligators and Coyotes. Hawks feed on small mammals, lizards and snakes.
Secondary consumers are herbivores that feed on primary consumers.
primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores so secondary consumers eat primary consumers
Lions are secondary consumers and feed mostly on primary consumers such as zebras.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.

No, crickets are not considered secondary consumers. They are primary consumers, as they mainly feed on plants and organic matter. Secondary consumers are animals that primarily feed on primary consumers.

Any scavenger animal. Dogs, rodents, etc.

A secondary consumer is one that eats a primary consumer, and is therefore either carnivorous or omnivorous. These trophic levels are not innate to the organism, and it can change its behavior and therefore its place in the food chain. Producers cannot become consumers, and consumers cannot become producers, but secondary consumers can become primary consumers, or tertiary consumers, etc. Two examples of secondary consumers in the ocean would be the orca (a carnivorous mammal), and the whale shark (an omnivorous fish). Secondary consumers are not necessarily apex predators, although those two are. Squids are also typically secondary consumers, and are not apex predators.
Tertiary Consumers: The diets of tertiary consumers may include animals from both the primary and secondary trophic levels. Like secondary consumers, their diet may also include some plants. Examples of tertiary consumers include Hawks, Alligators and Coyotes. Hawks feed on small mammals, lizards and snakes.
