No. Primary consumers are herbivores (vegetarian). They eat plants, not other animals. A shark would be at least a tertiary consumer as the fish it eats, eat other fish, which eat other fish, which eat krill, which eat zooplankton, which eat phytoplankton.

No, a shark is not a primary consumer. Sharks are generally considered to be apex predators in the food chain, feeding on various marine animals as secondary or tertiary consumers.
