Sometimes. The animal eating plants is the primary consumer, the animal eating that animal the secondary, and finally the animal eating that one is the tertiary... so if a fish eats algae, is then eaten by another fish, and that fish is eaten by a dolphin, then the dolphin is the tertiary consumer. It probably occurs in our oceans, yes. But they are most likely also active on other trophic levels.
