  Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are powerful and highly variable sources of gamma rays
that indicate the existence of cosmic particle accelerators. Under the
assumption of hadronic acceleration in the jet, the expected neutrino energy
spectrum is derived according to the intrinsic fireball model parameters and to
the observed electromagnetic data of GRBs measured with ground-based and
satellite observations. Using the performance characteristics of a
cubic-kilometre scale neutrino detector placed in the Mediterranean Sea, the
number of events is calculated individually for all the GRBs having a known
redshift below the horizon of this detector. The good angular resolution of
this detector and the narrow time windows around the GRB detection time allow
suppression of almost all the atmospheric neutrino background. From the SWIFT
GRB catalogue, we have derived the mean characteristics of a burst in order to
be detected as an individual point source by a cubic-kilometre detector.
