Fish consumption pattern in major freshwater fisheries provinces of Cambodia

Production and consumption of fish were estimated for a one year period during 1995-96 using a sample of 5 117 households. The sample was taken from a study area covering 83 sample communes in 51 fishing districts belonging to eight freshwater fisheries provinces. About 39% of households in fishing dependent communities were actively involved in fishing. Of the total fishing households, 14% took part in commercial fishing using middle-scale fishing gear. Average annual catch per household for middle-scale and family fishing was 3 319 kg and 647 kg, respectively. Nearly 40% of the fish catch was consumed within the communes. The per capita consumption of fresh fish by fishing households (49.7 kg/yr) was higher than that of non-fishing households (39.9 kg/yr). Including processed fish, the total fish consumption by the fishing dependent communes was estimated at 75.6 kg per capita per annum. Given this high rate of fish consumption, development interventions must consider the role of fisheries in ensuring a sustainable livelihood and food security to Cambodia's growing population.

Nível de evidenciação obrigatória nas empresas de capital aberto: uma análise do CPC 27

O atendimento às informações obrigatórias que integram pronunciamentos emitidos por órgãos normativos vem sendo tema de estudos nacionais e internacionais, que buscam identificar os níveis de divulgação de determinados mercados ou setores da economia. Alinhado a este cenário, o objetivo do presente estudo é analisar o nível de evidenciação das demonstrações financeiras divulgadas no ano de 2012 pelas empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo (BM&FBOVESPA) em relação aos requisitos exigidos no CPC 27, que estabelece o tratamento contábil para ativos imobilizados. Foi elaborado um índice para apurar o nível de cumprimento da divulgação, denominado de Índice de Não Divulgação (IND) que obteve 32,9% como resultado. Para identificar as características que poderiam influenciar o índice encontrado, foram desenvolvidas hipóteses atreladas ao porte da empresa, à emissão de American Depositary Receipt (ADR), à empresa de auditoria prestadora do serviço e ao segmento de mercado. Os testes de diferenças de média apontaram que todas as características utilizadas podem explicar o cumprimento das informações obrigatórias para ativo imobilizado. Para se alcançar o pleno atendimento aos requisitos obrigatórios, as empresas demandam um período de adequação, bem como para os reguladores do mercado ampliarem a orientação e fiscalização, adquirindo a confiabilidade das informações divulgadas.
