Are the Cales related to whiting in any way?

Yeah... but not closely.

Both families belong to Perciformes, but I couldn't tell you what the deeper level phylogeny is.

At family level they are about as related as a Giraffe and a Cow.. roughly.

I think there a bit further apart than that Shadow. Cows and giraffes are both ruminants.

Yeaahhss... and?

Cattle and Giraffe's belong to different taxonomic Families and are grouped under the same Order. Same as the Odacids and Sillaginids.

In general, classifcations above Genus level are kinda fluid. One mans Infraclass is another mans Legion. :lol: :mrgreen:
