Zooplankton is a consumer because it eats (consumes) other things, e.g: Phytoplankton.
A producer
Zooplankton are considered primary consumers because they feed on phytoplankton (which are primary producers). They play a key role in marine food webs by transferring energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels.
Consumer. Barnacles consume phytoplankton by waving their cirri in the water column. They are not photosynthic.

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.
Phytoplankton are producers and not scavengers as claimed.

Phytoplankton get eaten by Zooplankton and Zooplankton get eaten by Herring but Phyotplankton make their own energy form sunlight so it's a Producer.
