We are growing fish twice as fast as growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.

Guys,

Is above sentence all right? It sounds bit awkward.. however dont find any grammatical issues? Can someone shed some lights onto it?

Thank you

I assume you are talking about farming fish in a commercial fish-farming operation as opposed to letting them develop naturally in the wild. You could also say "rasing fish in a commercial setting" or "rasing fish using fish-farming techniques". I think your sentence sounds awkward because "growing" usually refers to plants.
