ANTARES is the largest high-energy neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. A search for neutrinos in coincidence with gamma-ray bursts using ANTARES data from late 2007 to 2011 is presented here. An extended maximum likelihood ratio search was employed to optimise the discovery potential for a neutrino signal as predicted by the numerical NeuCosmA model. No significant excess was found, so 90% confidence upper limits on the fluxes as expected from analytically approximated neutrino-emission models as well as on up-to-date numerical predictions were placed.
