He was born in Visingsö to Per Ohlin and Hedda Hjertstedt. Among his works are På forskningsfärd efter Björling och Kallstenius (1895), and Arctic Crustacea collected during the swedish arctic expeditions 1898, 1899 and 1900 (1901).
The Ohlin Island, discovered during the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, where Ohlin participated as zoologist, is named after him.
