For as long as I can remember, people with big puckered lips are associated with fish. Just like people with buckteeth are associated with beavers and so forth. It's not a mistranslation or some form of disrespect, it's just what we call it in the west or at least where I'm from.
I usually just call it a pucker or a pout though... that's just me.
In any case, this article was very informative (albeit kind of strange) so thanks for posting. I think fish lips sounds a lot better than duck mouth though.
