Abstract

There should be not doubt by now that neutrino telescopes are competitive instruments when it comes to searches for dark matter. Their large detector volumes collect hundreds of neutrinos per day. They scrutinize the whole sky continuously, being sensitive to neutrino signals of all flavours from dark matter annihilations in nearby objects (Sun, Earth, Milky Way Center and Halo) as well as from far away galaxies or galaxy clusters, and over a wide energy range. In this review we summarize the analysis techniques and recent results on dark matter searches from the neutrino telescopes currently in operation.
