they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut
split 1 :A&B: Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast astheir natural growth rate. This sentence has incorrect elliptical usage. This sentence can actually mean either of the following two:
a. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as suppliers are growing their natural growth rate.
b. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate is growing fish.
But both these sentences do not make sense and are illogical.
split 2: Rate = speed
Saying “speed is fast” is definitely incorrect.
“Speed is more than something” or “Speed is higher than something” is appropriate
On similar lines, growth rate cannot be faster. Growth rate can be higher.
