What is a consumer in the Great Barrier Reef?

A consumer in the Great Barrier Reef is an organism that gets its energy by eating other organisms. Consumers can be divided into two main types: primary consumers and secondary consumers.

* Primary consumers are organisms that eat plants or other primary producers. Primary consumers include herbivores such as fish, turtles, and dugongs.

* Secondary consumers are organisms that eat other animals. Secondary consumers include carnivores such as sharks, dolphins, and seabirds.

Consumers play a vital role in the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem. They help to control the populations of other organisms and recycle nutrients back into the environment.
