Which organism gathers its energy directly from the sun?

Yellowfin tuna, or Thunnus albacores, are large sport fish found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. They typically school under objects such as boats or patches of driftwood for protection from predators. Schooling under these structures also provides yellowfin tuna with easy access to smaller fish that may be foraging for food.Which trophic level does yellowfin tuna fill in a food chain?
