This thesis is devoted to ANTARES, the first underwater neutrino
telescope in the Mediterranean sea. As the main scientific
analysis, a search for high-energy neutrino emission from the
region of the Fermi bubbles has been performed using data from the
ANTARES detector. A method for the background estimation using
off-zones has been developed specially for this measurement. A new
likelihood for the limits calculation which treats both
observations in the on-zone and in the off-zone in the similar way
and also includes different systematic uncertainties has been
constructed. The analysis of 2008-2011 ANTARES data yielded a 1.2
excess of events in the Fermi bubble regions, compatible with the
no-signal hypothesis. For the optimistic case of no energy cutoff
in the flux, the upper limit is within a factor of three of the
prediction of the purely hadronic model based on the measured
gamma-ray flux. The sensitivity improves as more data are
accumulated (more than 65% gain in the sensitivity is expected once
2012-2016 data are added to the analysis).
