A bluegill is not a primary consumer; it is classified as a secondary consumer. Bluegills primarily feed on insects, zooplankton, and smaller fish, which places them higher in the food chain.

In aquatic ecosystems, primary consumers would be organisms like zooplankton that feed on phytoplankton.
Is a Zooplankton is an omnivore?
Zooplankton can be classified as omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores, depending on their specific species and diet. Many zooplankton, such as copepods and krill, feed on a mix of phytoplankton (plant-like organisms) and smaller zooplankton or organic matter, making them omnivorous. However, not all zooplankton are omnivores; some may exclusively consume plant matter or other animals. Therefore, whether a zooplankton is an omnivore depends on its dietary habits.
