BeauIt is a Producer I believe

A seahorse is not a producer because it is not a plant, but it is a consumer because it eats small crustaceans at the bottom of the ocean floor, it also is also not a decomposer because it does not breakdown its food before it eats it, (like a worm, or fly).

Order of consumers in the ecosystem?
Sun or hydrothermal vent produces for the producer (not an animal but still a producer) NOTE: This example is in the ocean Primary Producer: phytoplankton 1st order consumer / Primary Consumer: zoo plankton 2nd order consumer / Secondary Consumer: fish 3rd order consumer / Tertiary Consumer: Seal / Sealion/ Penguin 4th order consumer / Quaternary Consumer: Killer whale / Shark / Polar bear
Is a blue whale primary consumer or a secondary consumer or a top level consumer?
The blue whale is a tertiary consumer, They feed on krill which are tiny crustaceans that feed on phytoplankton (plants). The whales' only natural predator is the orca which would make the orca the top level consumer.
What is an quarternary consumer?
A quaternary consumer is a consumer on the fourth trophic level for a biome. Usually it is a top predator or scavenger. Also, they are usually the species on the top of the food chain.
Is a blue jay a primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer or a scavenger decomposer?
Primary consumers eat plant matter, secondary consumers eat organisms that have fed from the plant-eaters and tertiary consumers are organisms that feed from secondary consumers. Scavengers and decomposers feed on dead animals and plant material, including all kind of food waste. Blue jays have a very varied diet and eat almost anything that could be considered as a food source. When they eat fruits, grains, or berries, they are a primary consumer. When they eat meat, including small invertebrates, they are secondary, or possibly tertiary consumers depending exactly what their food has eaten before being eaten by the blue jay. When they eat table scraps or other food waste they are scavengers.
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.
