What are the organisms in the river ecosystem and if they're producers consumers or decomposers and what type primary secondary etc?

In a river ecosystem, organisms can be classified into producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers, such as aquatic plants and phytoplankton, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Primary consumers include herbivorous insects and small fish that feed on these producers, while secondary consumers consist of larger fish and carnivorous insects that prey on the primary consumers. Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
