Plankton are consumers, because they don't produce anything or decompose anything and they consume sunlight and algae.

Is plankton a producer or or decomposer?

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.

Is a shrimp a decomposer?

No, a shrimp is not a decomposer. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter into simpler substances, such as bacteria and fungi. Shrimp are actually consumers, as they feed on other organisms like algae, plankton, and small fish. Shrimp play a role in the food chain as a primary consumer, rather than as a decomposer.

What are types of secondary ocean consumers?

Anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer in the ocean. Because much of the oceans ecosystem is reliant on phytoplankton, and zoo-plankton are some of the only creature that consume phytoplankton, making them a primary consumer, anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer. Some exmaples of secondary consumers are muscles, scallops, barnacles, and moving up the scale even the blue whale eats zoo-plankton, therefore making it a secondary consumer.
