Being the largest apparatus on the Northern hemisphere,with about 900 photo-sensors, in addition to its unique discovery potential, Antares re-presents a benchmark and possible prototype for future neutrino telescope projects. Afteran introduction into neutrino telescopy and a description of the Antares telescope, thisdissertation will describe the charge calibration of the front-end electronics. A long-termstudy of the calibration constants is discussed.
