Nope. A whale is a mammal, therefore it is covered in fur, not scales. But I see where you're coming from.

No, whales are not covered with scales. They have smooth, rubbery skin that is often covered in a layer of blubber to help insulate them in cold water.
Most fish are covered with 'scales'
Reptiles, such as snakes, lizards, and turtles, are typically covered in scales. Scales are hard, protective structures made of keratin that help these animals retain moisture and provide a barrier against predators.
The body covering for a fish is called its scales. Scales on fish vary by size, color, number, and shape by species.
A land animal that crawls and has scales is a snake. Snakes move by crawling on their bellies and their bodies are covered in scales for protection.
Shark skin looks and feels like it is covered with tiny teeth. In fact, their small, rough placoid scales (also called denticles), have the same structure as sharks' teeth! Shark skin is sometimes used as sandpaper.www.vanaqua.org/education/aquafacts/sharks.html
