No, a bluegill is not an autotroph; it is a heterotroph. Bluegills are Freshwater Fish that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms, such as insects, zooplankton, and small fish. Autotrophs, on the other hand, are organisms that produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, which bluegills cannot do.
