Crayfish are considered decomposers, as they play a role in breaking down organic matter in their aquatic ecosystems. They feed on decaying plant material, dead animals, and detritus, helping to recycle nutrients back into the environment. While they also consume live prey, their primary ecological function aligns with that of decomposers.

Is lobster crayfish and crabs producers or consumer?

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.
