Insider lessees, who were also authorized members of the leasing FPA, are indicated as: D=incumbent director, D^P=past director, S=shareholder. Outsider lessees, who were not authorized participants of the leasing FPA, are indicated by ‘LI’ in the shaded cells. The stakeholding relations of the lessees with any other studied FPA are indicated in parentheses as: D^O=incumbent director of another FPA, D^PO=past director of another FPA, LM=lessee in another FPA, S^O=shareholder of another FPA. A lessee who was engaged in an aquaculture related trade is indicated by ‘T’ in square brackets. (Source: Authors’ Survey).
