Let’s solve this step by step.

We have a multiplication table with symbols and numbers. The rows and columns are labeled with symbols or numbers, and each cell inside is the product of its row label and column label.

The top row (column headers) are:
→ 2, 🐚 (shell), 🦭 (seal)

The left column (row headers) are:
→ 🐚 (shell), 🐠 (fish), 9

Inside the grid, we see some numbers and symbols:

First row (row header = 🐚):
- Column 1 (×2): 🐠 → so 🐚 × 2 = 🐠
- Column 2 (×🐚): 9 → so 🐚 × 🐚 = 9
- Column 3 (×🦭): 🪼 (jellyfish) → so 🐚 × 🦭 = 🪼

Second row (row header = 🐠):
- Column 1 (×2): 🪼 → so 🐠 × 2 = 🪼
- Column 2 (×🐚): (dolphin) → so 🐠 × 🐚 =
- Column 3 (×🦭): 24 → so 🐠 × = 24

Third row (row header = 9):
- Column 1 (×2): 🐬 → so 9 × 2 = 🐬 → that means 🐬 = 18
- Column 2 (×🐚): (penguin) → so 9 × 🐚 = 🐧
- Column 3 (×🦭): 36 → so 9 × 🦭 = 36 → that means 🦭 = 4 (because 9 × 4 = 36)

Now let’s use what we found:

From third row, column 3:
9 × 🦭 = 36 → 🦭 = 36 ÷ 9 = 4

From first row, column 2:
🐚 × = 9 → What number times itself is 9? That’s 3! So 🐚 = 3

Now check: if 🐚 = 3, then from first row, column 1:
🐚 × 2 = 🐠 → 3 × 2 = 6 → so 🐠 = 6

Check second row, column 3:
🐠 × 🦭 = 24 → 6 × 4 = 24 → ✔ Correct!

Now find 🪼 (jellyfish):

From first row, column 3:
🐚 × 🦭 = 🪼 → 3 × 4 = 12 → so 🪼 = 12

Also check second row, column 1:
🐠 × 2 = 🪼 → 6 × 2 = 12 → ✔ Same answer!

Now find 🐬 (dolphin):

From third row, column 1:
9 × 2 = 🐬 → 18 → so 🐬 = 18

Also from second row, column 2:
🐠 × 🐚 = 🐬 → 6 × 3 = 18 → ✔ Correct!

Now find 🐧 (penguin):

From third row, column 2:
9 × 🐚 = → 9 × 3 = 27 → so 🐧 = 27

Let’s list all values:

- 🐚 (shell) = 3
- 🦭 (seal) = 4
- 🐠 (fish) = 6
- 🪼 (jellyfish) = 12
- 🐬 (dolphin) = 18
- 🐧 (penguin) = 27

Final Answer:
🐚 = 3
🦭 = 4
🐠 = 6
🪼 = 12
🐬 = 18
🐧 = 27
