contents We present integral field spectroscopy of ionized gas components in AGC 111629, an edge-on low surface brightness galaxy (LSBG) with a stellar mass of 5.7$\times$10$^{8}$ M$_{\odot}$. AGC 111629 displays an irregular H$α$ morphology and an arch-like structure in the extraplanar region, which is absent in continuous stellar image. The irregular H$α$ morphology may be related to a past merger event with its satellite galaxy AGC 748815. A peanut-shaped structure at the center in the integrated [OIII]$λ$5007 map, with a position angle that differs from that of the main stellar disk. This structure exhibits a higher [OIII]$λ$5007/H$β$ flux ratio, a larger equivalent width (EW) of [OIII]$λ$5007, and a lower H$α$/H$β$ flux radio ($<$ 2.86). Some spaxels associated with the peanut-shaped structure fall within the composite region of the BPT diagram based on [NII]$λ$6583. These features may be associated with the central AGN. Additionally, a sub-peak in the southern disk is clearly visible in the [OIII]$λ$5007 map. An extended region ($\sim$ 2 kpc) with an extremely low value of H$α$/H$β$ flux ratio is observed near this sub-peak. We interpret the sub-peak as a superbubble likely driven by supernova explosions in the southern disk. We derive the gas-phase metallicity, 12+log(O/H), using the [NII]$λ$6583/H$α$ diagnostic and find that AGC 111629 exhibits low central metallicity. This may result from feedback associated with AGN activity and supernova explosions.
