Abstract
The construction of the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea next to the French coast of Toulon is completed since May 2008. The detector comprises about 900 photomultipliers distributed in 12 lines, at a depth of about 2500 m. Before its completion, the detector was operational with 5 out of the total 12 lines from February to December 2007. The data recorded in that period have been analysed. The search for point-like sources has been carried out using two strategies: a search within a list of several potential cosmic neutrino emitters and an all-sky scanning. The results obtained provide competitive limits for the Southern sky.
