We find that the asymmetry is small, positive in the low $x$ region and negative in the high $x$ region. In this framework, the polarized strange quarks and antiquarks distributions, which are obtained simultaneously, are found to be both negative for all $x$ values.8 pages, 7 figures, To appear in Physics Letters BHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyStrangeness asymmetry of the nucleon in the statistical parton modeltext
