| The parents of a five-year-old boy feared taken by a crocodile along a north Queensland river say they don't want any of the reptiles put down.
A search for the boy in the Daintree River, north of Cairns, resumed on Monday, but has been hampered by the high tide.
Police say the boy, whose parents run a Daintree tourist venture, disappeared about 9.30am (AEST) on Sunday after following his dog into the water from a boardwalk.
His seven-year-old brother was with him and told police he saw a crocodile soon after his brother vanished.
Rangers have set a trap to try to determine what happened to the boy.
Acting Police Inspector Jason Smith told reporters the parents had said they did not want anything to happen to crocodiles along the river.
"I've been advised that the child's family that they do not want any adverse action against crocodiles in the Daintree," he said.
Police are expected to make further comment on Monday afternoon.
