No, zooplankton are not producers; they are consumers in the aquatic food web. They primarily feed on phytoplankton, which are the actual producers, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Zooplankton play a crucial role in transferring energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels in marine and freshwater ecosystems.
It is basically a producer.
I don't think so.
Yes it is; and one of its consumers is zoo plankton.
Plankton may be both producer (phytoplankton) and consumer (zoo plankton) but is not a decomposer (that is the job for bacteria). Phytoplankton is the producer, which is eaten by zooplankton, which is then eaten by other organisms in the ocean.

Krill eats zoo plankton so it consumes

It is not a consumer, it is a primry producer
I'd assume plankton that are kept in a zoo
There are two sorts of plankton, zoo plankton and phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are plants and are producers while zoo plankton are animals that eat other plankton.
A barnicle eats zoo plankton! A barnicle eats zoo plankton!
