In a food chain, a shark is considered a carnivorous consumer, specifically a secondary or tertiary consumer, depending on its diet. Sharks feed on other animals, such as fish and marine mammals, rather than producing their own food like autotrophs (plants) do. They are not herbivores, as they do not eat plants, nor are they decomposers, which break down dead organic matter.

What is a secondary consumer in eco system?

A secondary consumer is any organism that consumes an organism that has consumed an autotroph. An autotroph is eaten by a primary consumer, which is eaten by a secondary consumer.
