To investigate the effects of mariculture on the sources, distribution and preservation of sedimentary organic carbon (SOC), sediments from an mariculture area in Ailian Bay, China, and a control area were analyzed for grain size composition, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition (δ13C and δ15N). The sedimentary type of sediments in study area was clay silt. TOC, TN, C/N, δ13C, and δ15N ranged from 0.58 to 1.21%, 0.06–0.17%, 6.29–9.82, −23.20 to −18.50‰, and 6.17–7.38‰, respectively, and followed similar spatial patterns. TOC, TN and δ13C were higher in mariculture area than in control area. Biodeposit and kelp OC contributions greater of SOC in mariculture area than the control area (biodeposits: 20.10 ± 4.84 to 6.2 ± 1.3%; kelp: 15.3 ± 6.63 to 5.2 ± 0.84%). Overall, mariculture activities significantly influence the sources, distribution and preservation of SOC.
