  The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope is a water Cherenkov detector currently under
construction in the Mediterranean Sea. It is also designed to serve as a
platform for investigations of the deep-sea environment. In this context, the
ANTARES group at the University of Erlangen will integrate acoustic sensors
within the infrastructure of the experiment. With this dedicated setup, tests
of acoustic particle detection methods and deep-sea acoustic background studies
shall be performed. The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a
future acoustic neutrino telescope in the deep sea operating in the ultra-high
energy regime. In these proceedings, the implementation of the project is
described in the context of the premises and challenges set by the physics of
acoustic particle detection and the integration into an existing
infrastructure.
